Hunger stared ST*RZ right in the face, if you ask me - because someone clearly decided it was time for a bold new marketing strategy and to 'expand the audience' of #BloodOfMyBlood to include fans of free YouTube content.

Did you see yesterday’s ST*RZ Instagram post?

Every emotion will be felt, as told by the King of Men. Watch the first episode of #BloodOfMyBlood free on the STARZ YouTube.

[And yes, I know — I’m not radiantly positive. That’s just my Slavic temperament expressing itself. I could say that dropping a free first episode on YouTube is not a bad strategy — just hilariously transparent. Peak 'Please love us, we promise it gets good later' energy. But what I actually see is pure, unfiltered panic begging. A quiet confession that #BOMB isn’t performing the way someone’s spreadsheet predicted. And who could have foreseen that? Truly, who could have possibly predicted that Outlander was Sam and Caitríona and not four sweet, blameless impostors?]

But there’s more. It feels like they spun the Marketing Megawheel and landed on: King of Men Worship™.

And please, someone, try again to convince me that Sam’s position as ST*RZ’s personal milking cow isn’t unique. What paperwork was signed? Who decided Sam would be the one dragging this wagon uphill alone?

And the Milking Cow himself? Well, he clearly knows his place in the lineup. Exhibit A: yesterday’s InstaStory.
